DOGS IN THE HOOD brings us a new concept in family entertainment. Clever lyrics,
great musicians, many musical styles and comedy are combined to bring joy to you with family fun for the holidays.
This CD celebrates how our beloved canine friends view the holiday season, and shows us how dogs have become part
of our family holiday history.
Wonderfully fun holiday music in every style genre from jazz to rap to classical to country.
OREEN ZEITLIN created DOGS IN THE HOOD in 1996, and in 1997 she recorded Hot! Hot! Hot! as well as Also Bark Zarathustra
and the Beethoven K9th Symphony. She wrote stories of dogs and parody songs after rescuing her beloved Canaan Dog
MAZAL, who found MS. ZEITLIN on Abraham Lincoln Street in Jerusalem. After receiving her passport, MAZAL traveled
back to the United States. While living in New York City, this special dog learned to team up with the other members
of the dog pack in the city’s Riverside Park. There she met and socialized with hundreds of dogs of every breed
and mix.
We learn about these unique canines on DOGS IN THE HOOD: A HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA, a debut CD. MAZAL is the wise
sage doggie. She always comes up with the most ingenious solutions to problems. We invite you to meet each of the
DOGS IN THE HOOD and learn about their quirky personalities as well as their personal machinations and triumphs.
OREEN ZEITLIN, Creator, Producer and Performer, is a graduate of the University of Illinois. She has attended the
Eastman School of Music and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. She made her Carnegie Hall debut with Opera Orchestra
of New York and has appeared on NPR National Radio, HBO, WBAI and WNYC Radio Stations. She is listed as one of
the best American singers of Wagnerian Opera by the prestigious New York Wagner Society. She is a dog afficionado
and her friends think she should be a stand up comic.
MS. ZEITLIN teamed up with the very talented IAN FINKEL as her musical director and arranger. Aside from being
the world’s best mallet instrument player (Xylophone, vibes, marimba), MR. FINKEL is internationally renowned as
a composer, arranger and professional writer of entertainment shows for stars such as Michael Feinstein. He has
